I planned to ride alone last night, but failed to do so. <BR/>I worked on the bike for about an hour, walked outside, felt the icy cold mist, felt the cold wind and saw the temp was dropping below 32 F. <BR/>Brought the bike inside, put away my gear, and battled my mind for an hour thinking that I should have gone for my ride. <BR/><BR/>After another hour, I brought the dog outside and noticed the rain turned to sleet and there was a nice layer of ice forming on everything. I'm glad I didn't rideJoeDellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1135876291165398402005-12-29T09:11:00.000-08:002005-12-29T09:11:00.000-08:00Rest is definetly important, but so is training yo...Rest is definetly important, but so is training yourself physically and more importantly mentally to get through the periods of low energy. This is especially true if you'll be racing 100 miles in the snow! My training regime is similar to yours (i.e. I work full time, live in a cold climate) and about once every two weeks, I get hit with a serious bout of no energy. I've learned that these are just an offshoot of living a busy and physically demanding lifestyle. You just have to plough through em! The only thing to watch out for is when it starts to feel like a job and not a hobby. At that point, its often useful to swear at your bike, go buy a sixer and attempt to not think of riding till you get the itch again....Geoffhttp://www.ggdubsbikesblogsndogz.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1135874590867755902005-12-29T08:43:00.000-08:002005-12-29T08:43:00.000-08:00That's a beautiful picture!

I use the phrase "head bonk" on my blog as the thing that cats will do to you and to other things they like as an affectionate gesture. The other word for it is "head butt" but then you're getting other into another word with alternate meanings.
